Automated testing overview

You can use Rational® Quality Manager to manage and run automated test scripts created with other test tools.

With Quality Manager, you can create test scripts that refer to existing tests that were created with other test tools, such as Rational Functional Tester, Rational Performance Tester, Rational Service Tester, Rational Robot, and Rational AppScan Tester Edition.

You can also perform bulk imports of your automated tests.

The test scripts that you create are references to the actual tests created in the other testing tools. When you choose to run an automated test, Quality Manager sends commands to the machines in your test lab, causing the native test to be run and the results to be displayed in your browser.

Automated tests can reside on test machines in your test lab or at shared network locations. When you create a reference to an automated test, you must specify where the test resources are located. Before you can use test resources from a shared location, an Administrator must make the resources available to Quality Manager.

Note: Each test tool implements its own integration with Quality Manager. The instructions provided here do not cover all of the details of each integration. Therefore, be sure to refer to the specific test tool for further details.
